7:34 am
beyond to receive treatment is absolutely barbaric, it shows the inhumane nature of the zionis and the way that they are conducting their their bombing campaigns, it is now clear to everybody that the zionist entities of objective is to ethnically cleanse the whole of gaza from the palestinian people and they are prepared to go to any lens to kill as many people as possible, you in your report earlier, it was mentioned that more than 38800 palestinians have been killed, but few days ago, launched, the british journal, the british medical journal actually estimated that perhaps as many as 186000 palestinians might have been killed, so we can see that this is absolutely a horrendous situation that the palestinian people are facing in gaza. the un agency for palestinian refugees

islamabad. china has called out nato for creating chaos by making interferences anywhere it goes. that was the topic of our news review program. let's see what our guests had to see about that. it's time now for the news review of this bulleton. china's permanent representative to the un has blamed nato and certain countries for sewing discord.
7:48 am
imposing unilateral sanctions under security pretext, which he said only disrupts global. supply chains added that such attempts will ultimately lead to a situation when no one wins. we also touched on and the gaza wars. he accused nato of seeking to expand its influence with false narratives and even shifting blame for the ukraine crisis on external parties. remarks came during security council debate chaired by russia on multilateral cooperation to help create more just democratic and sustainable world order. "china and russia have long criticizing the us for its unilateral actions in international arena. they argue that washington's disregard for the interest of other countries bringing stability. harley schlanger, spokesman of the international schiller institute from ponstam, germany joins us. we also have john bost, journalist, activist and political analyst us from
7:49 am
federico in canada. welcome to you both, so harley schlanger." you want to take a look at uh what china is saying, it's a a clash of what's world order they say in their views and what the us sees uh, what makes the us think that their world order is the one and the just one where china's is undemocratic and it threatens uh the world order according to the way the us sees it. i think the best way to look at is the us has an arrogance toward the rest of the world and the arrogance. leads to the delusion that there's only one way that nations should relate each other, and that's with the idea of a unipolar order, which is backed up by us and nato military, there was just the nato summit in washington dc, and what the chinese ambassador was was talking about is nato made decision to expand to asia as well as to
7:50 am
increase the amount of american presence in europe, so on the one side to have the attempt to surround russia completely and now to surround china and at the same time to continue to support israel in the war of genocide against the palestinians in gaza, so there's nothing that justifies this, there's no the united states is not the source of justice in the world, in fact it's a source of much of the injustice, the wars and the sanctions by the way, besides killing people as they have in in iraq and and yemen and... western policy makers and that's the problem in the world, well john, i don't need to tell you, i'm sure you are well aware of one of the facts that stands out with the us, and that's that the their so-called diffs budget,
7:51 am
they call it is 10 times more than uh the other country, 10 countries combined, they are have a militaristic approach, and that is very evident when we take a look at the different conflict around the world, so how can they think that that is the right approach as opposed to what china is preaching, i'm not trying to say one is uh better than the other, but surely uh there's got to be... better way than just militarily approaching uh problems? well, first of all, we have the expression in english, the proof is in the pudding. in other words, once you cook something, you taste it and you see what the results are. china has been maintaining that war is not the way to go for decades. china is now the leading economy in the world, they have overtaken the united states to several key sectors and will overtake the united states in remaining sectors in the near future. that that leads the united states in a losing position economically, which causes them to step to their back foot, it's actually their front foot, which is war.
7:52 am
nato is nothing more than a war alliance, a war machine. china has had to defend itself and is building up its defenses in response, but it is nowhere near the united states in terms of power projection against others. china has one aircraft carrer. america has 22, but since the arrival of the kinjal rocket, which can sink all 22 american aircraft carriers in 5 minutes, the pole has come for the american empire if there is a war between china and america, just few rockets will equal the score, and this is a result of focus on science and technology and mathematics and education, even the us. president donald j. trump, former president trump, called the us media that pushes the false narratives about america defending itself, even he defined those narratives as
7:53 am
product of the lying msm, nothing more, nothing less. thank you, journalist, activist and political analyst, harley schlanger, thank you, spokesman of the international chiller institute, thanks to you both. with that we come to an end for this news review. it is fashion shows have become a constant reality in the west with many headjob wearing rich muslim women frequenting the luxury events, but why and how did the islamic style of dress? get promoted in an environment, the politicians are up in arms against anything that has any trace of islam. watch this documentary to find the answer to this

question.

7:56 am
african, born in bread in south africa, i grew up in south africa during some of the most difficult years of that country, that is through the years when apartite, the system of racial classification was enforced by law, and so i was one of those who grew up under that system and i have to say benefited from that system while it was law in the country, but my life began in south africa and i'm firmly rooted still in south africa and it was from that south african heritage that "a lot of my work in the future received its passion, received its drive, that having grown up in a system where i've seen people suffer for other reason but their racial classification, i have passion for people who suffer because of their religion or because their race or are persecuted because of what they believe, and so really all of my work has its roots in the south african scene.
